PHOTOS: Every dog has its day at Pawlooza
1 min read

Dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds took over the Plunkett Estate in west London on Saturday for Pawlooza, one of the biggest dog festivals in North America. The volunteer-run event was expected to draw an estimated 15,000 people and 6,000 canines. All proceeds went to ARF Ontario, a non-profit that works with First Nations and rural communities in Ontario to rescue, rehab and re-home stray dogs and cats, and LEADS Employment Services, which helps local people with disabilities with skills training and finding jobs.
